Già annunciata qualche tempo fa, sarà presto pronta - si parla di metà ottobre - la riproposta dei tre magnifici box di Henry Cow in un'unica nuova confezione, con una revisione audio degli album di studio e parecchi materiali informativi aggiuntivi. Oh, e gli extra di Cabinet of Curiosities. E un discreto sconto per chi acquista anche il libro di Ben Piekut. E qualcos'altro ancora per i sottoscrittori della prima ora...

This collection brings together the full contents of the three former boxes, with the addition of a further 60pp booklet of newly unearthed, or commissioned, band commentaries, pictures and other documents prepared specifically for this release - as well as re-mastered versions of all the studio CDs and the rare bonus CD (Cabinet of Curiosities), which came with the subscription edition of the original boxed set. Subscribers only will also receive an extra numbered edition subscription CD of more newly recovered, discovered and previously unreleased recordings.

All The Cows In One Box

Il glorioso debuto dell'ottetto di Louis Moholo Spirits Rejoice! torna in vinile per la prima volta dopo la pubblicazione su Ogun nel 1978. E' un'iniziativa del Cafe Oto londinese per Otoroku, limitata a mille copie: "We're extremely proud to present the first vinyl reissue of one of the most legendary free jazz records ever produced. Originally released in 1978 on Ogun recordings, Louis Moholo Octet’s Spirits Rejoice! is a high achievement in the movement of the era as it soars beyond oppression with a raucous and spiritually uplifting surge of movement and melody. Featuring Harry Miller, Johnny Dyani, Keith Tippett, Evan Parker, Nick Evans, Radu Malfatti and Kenny Wheeler, this is former Blue Note artist Louis Moholo’s first album under his own name and is a classic example of the cross-pollination between South African and British players. Mongezi Feza’s You Ain’t Gonna Know Me ‘Cos You Think You Know Me alone is enough to make your life a better place. This 2019 re-issue has been made with permission and in association with Ogun records and features an exact reproduction of the original artwork and liner notes along with new liner notes from Matthew Wright. Remastered by Giuseppe Ielasi and packaged in a high gloss sleeve this is the definitive release of one of the absolute free jazz classics of the 20th Century."
